In the early days of the pandemic my older kid got into the Grateful Dead. In 2021 we went to see Dead & Co. at the Hollywood Bowl. I have so many good memories of Dead shows dating back to when I was a teenager, but that was maybe my favorite. I loved getting to share that with my kid. RIP Bob Weir

Always thought I’d find out the world was ending from Twitter but obviously I wasn’t thinking dumbly enough.

We address this. Not as easy a fix as it may seem www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

But there’s one glaring potential roadblock: timing. “There are needs on different time scales,” says Patrick White, former research director at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. Many of these tech companies will require large amounts of power in the next three to five years, White says, but building new nuclear plants can take close to a decade.

Some next-generation nuclear technologies, especially small modular reactors, could take less time to build, but the companies promising speed have yet to build their first reactors—and in some cases they are still years away from even modestly sized demonstrations.

Keep seeing what (I think are) news helicopters flying over Ocean Beach (in SF, not SD). I can report that the ocean is still down there, and not up here. (Also the warning was canceled.)

For me it was smoking PCP. Just an absolute asphalt-chewing load of PCP over the long weekend. If you really want to get inside RFK JR’s head, I suggest PCP

The memorial for @stevesilberman.bsky.social today was truly moving. He was so good, to so many people. I know a lot of people on here loved him & I thought I’d share his response about what song gives him optimism and hope. You can listen to it here: archive.org/details/gd90...

I have really gotten into scouring eBay for Windham Hill albums recently. (I am very, very cool.) This Michael Hedges live cassette speedran through the guitar players at my high school, infectious and addictive and stunning. I got to see him live years later - mesmerizing.
